Theology and Faith
I am one of the most liberal Christian
ministers you will ever find. Although I have a fairly complex
set
of beliefs and a fairly comprehensive personal theology (see link
below),
I believe Jesus meant it when he said to love and worship God, and to
love
and care for your neighbor in much the same way you'd want someone to
care
for you. We frequently make it more complicated than
necessary. It is our human nature.
My theology is wildly
inclusive.
I am able to reconcile an infinite God with the vagaries of human
limitations.
So I have no problem with the mysteries of sin and salvation, nor with
the apparent paradoxes of science and faith. In all things, God's
will prevails - it matters not one bit that I may not understand it or
agree with it.
If you MUST catagorize
me (feel
free to do so) I am a process theologian, with very stong views about
the
importance of Christian mysticism and the theology and process of very,
very early Christendom. If you don't understand that, don't
worry.
Christianity is faith and feeling, not dissection.
